Hi,
I would like to allow a user to cat (as root) any file in or below the /proc directory, but I cant work out how to do that without also allowing them to specify multiple args to cat?....For example :
myuser myhost=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/cat /proc/*
...also permits this command :
sudo cat /proc/uptime /etc/shadow
I understand that sudo uses fnmatch & glob, and not regex, but I have tried various combinations of character classes and wildcard with/without !negation, all without success.
Any suggestions will be gratefully received please...?
